DCxPC Live Presents: Christy Costello (MN), Cellmate (HV) and Modern Natives (HV)
Christy Costello with Modern Natives and Cellmate – Live at Unicorn Bar (Kingston, NY)
Thursday, May 14 | Doors 7PM | Music 8PM
DCxPC Live presents a night of live music at Unicorn Bar in Kingston, NY featuring touring artist Christy Costello with Modern Natives opening the night and Cellmate closing out the local support. This show brings together touring talent and Hudson Valley artists for a dynamic evening of indie, rock, and genre-blending sounds in one of the region’s most exciting live music spaces.
Christy Costello brings her powerful songwriting and emotionally resonant performances to the Hudson Valley as part of her upcoming tour. Blending elements of indie folk with a punk spirit and deeply personal storytelling, Costello’s music moves fluidly between intimate moments and soaring intensity. Her expressive voice and honest lyricism create a live experience that draws audiences in from the first note.
Opening the night are Modern Natives, a band that has toured cross-country from Alaska to Florida and across Canada multiple times while living out of an old camper with their three cats and dog along for the ride. Now based full-time in New York’s Hudson Valley, Modern Natives brings that wild, road-worn spirit to every stage. Known for their genre-blending sound and unforgettable live performances, they continue to build a reputation as a must-see act throughout the region.
Closing out the local support is Cellmate, a Kingston, New York–based project comprised of Maria Alvarez and Steven Markota. The duo is backed by drummer Chris Gartmann and guitarist Jacob Kolbinski. Influenced by the energy of garage rock, the freedom of electronic music, and the ethos of punk, the group has created a collection of songs designed to electrify and excite audiences in a live setting.

KulfiGirls DCxPC Live Album Release Show!
Join us on Sunday, June 7th for night full punk, resistance and radical joy! Experience all three with live music from KulfiGirls, MEOW MEOW, and Pucker Up!
Fronted by lead vocalist and Saraswati veena player Abi Natesh, rock four-piece KulfiGirls includes her partner Joan on guitar, Stephanie Bruning on bass, and Adesola Ogunleye on drums. KulfiGirls began as a passion project. Through KulfiGirls, Natesh channels her South Indian heritage into a musical style that resists easy categorization. The band’s sound moves fluidly between heavy, melodic, exploratory, and traditional elements, blending distorted contemporary rock music with soaring veena solos inspired by ancient musical forms. Divinity centers this cross- cultural synthesis, presenting a bold new approach to Carnatic-influenced rock.
MEOW MEOW, a five-piece queercore rock band from New York’s Mid-Hudson Valley that blends emo, jazz, and punk in their original songs. Since 2019, they’ve been playing shows from Rochester to Brooklyn and across New Jersey and Pennsylvania. On 3/21 they released their sophomore album, A Tree to Wrap Your Car Around. With the help of DCxPC Live, they are embarking on their first tour starting in Philly on 4/13 and ending in Brooklyn on 4/18. They’ve been featured in outlets like Dying Scene, Chronogram, and Under Valley.
Pucker Up! is is three-piece punk band based in Scranton, PA. Their songs detail personal heartbreak and collective rage through channels of loud music. At the band's core is the act of joy as resistance, the sanctity of community, and a LOT of duct tape.

Doors 6pm | Show 7pm
$20 ADV/DOS
Colony Woodstock, DCxPC Live, and Dropout Productions continue their bi-monthly 'Punk Night' series.
MICKEY LEIGH'S MUTATED MUSIC
With the release of a slew of singles with his band MUTATED MUSIC, MICKEY LEIGH is taking steps. A longtime figure in the influential downtown New York City music scene, MICKEY is no longer content with being in the shadows. He's stepping into the spotlight with punk-pop-country-jazz and blues infused tracks that tell stories of colorful rock and roll lives. "These are 'The Stories That Never Got Told', so they never got old," states one of the key tracks. Of the heroine in "Little Cristine," MICKEY says "No. She ain't no ten. She's a number one." His modernized, "mutated" reworking of the classic civil rights/social-awakening song "If I Had A Hammer" boldly blares the powerful message calling for "justice, freedom and love between our brothers and our sisters" which is perfect for these troubled, frenetic and divisive times.
As he explained in his 2009 autobiographical family memoir "I Slept With Joey Ramone," MICKEY is inspired by his love of the music of the '60s. His life-long fever for rock & roll has never dampened, remains pure, and continues to fuel his drive to create great music. MICKEY LEIGH'S MUTATED MUSIC is brimming with tracks that have been called: "...instantly memorable, lyrically compelling, deceptively simple, hard-ass, life-loving songs full of emotional depth that deliver a punch far more intense than anyone could or would have expected...written with passion, played with precision, produced with perfection." MICKEY has been credited with "...the power pop instincts of a Tom Petty and the street smarts of a Jim Carroll...not to mention a bit of The Who, Dylan, Springsteen and...Elvis."
PAJAMAZON
Pajamazon from Woodstock, NY have been banging out their brand of fun, catchy, and melodic power pop/punk throughout the lower Hudson Valley, Capital Region, and beyond since 1995. Visit them on the web at www.pajamazon.com, and hear their song “Baby Tee” and Christmas single “Snoopy’s Christmas” on all download and streaming sites. As one reviewer put it, Pajamazon’s music stays crunchy, even in milk!
GSX
Sarah Greenwoodis an award-winning, critically acclaimed performer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. A Swiss-Brit transplant, Greenwood moved to NYC after graduating from Berklee College of Music. Her band, GSX, is known for its fiery live performances, from opening for Joan Jett at CBGB’s to playing to 50,000 in Reykjavik.
In 2025, GSX released three singles, receiving airplay on SiriusXM, WFUV, Sojourn Radio, and WFMU. The band’s debut album, Manifest, remains in regular rotation, particularly on SiriusXM.
A new GSX single is slated for release this spring, with a full-length album in the works. @gsxnyc

DCxPC Live Punk Night
DCxPC Live brings a stacked six-band night to Night Swim, pulling together Hudson Valley locals and touring punk bands from Philly, Louisville, D.C., and New Hampshire for a loud, hook-filled summer bill.

Longfriend Timefriend (Philly): South Philly punk with a raw DIY feel and shared-voice energy, coming in behind their 2024 LP Here’s To Not Feeling Worse.
Scrooge Mandella (KY): Fast, aggressive Louisville punk with a melodic streak, touring on the strength of their new 2026 album Post Tour Clarity through Coffin Curse Records.
American Television (DC): Melodic D.C. punk with a classic skate-punk backbone and big singalong energy, with recent Smartpunk releases Scars and You Are Not Alone.
Hell Beach (NH): Manchester power-punk rock ’n’ roll with hooky chaos and a sharp live-wire feel; their 2024 LP BEACHWORLD was sold on vinyl through Bad Time Records.
Couch Surfer (HV): Hudson Valley emo pop punk with big riffs, closing the night out on the local side of loud and cathartic.

DCxPC Live Presents: The Toasters, Tiger Piss, and The Hedons
Join us on Wednesday, April 22nd for a night of live music with The Toasters, Tiger Piss, & The Hedons! Prepare for sounds reminiscent of 90s ska-punk & 80s rock, guaranteed to make you get out of your seat!
--
After 43 years, The Toasters are hitting the gas, not the brakes. With an international all-star line-up their whirlwind global tour continues unabated across the continents. Performances are scheduled in South America, Asia and Russia on top of regular touring in the USA, Europe and Canada.
Formed on the Lower East Side of NYC the band is the longest running US SKA formation. They bridge the gap between England’s 2-Tone movement and the American Ska explosion of the 90’s which they are rightfully credited with starting. During the 3rd Wave Ska revival The Toasters formed the famous Moon Records label and kick-started the careers of dozens of bands.
--
Formed in the good old days of 2007 in New Paltz NY, Tiger Piss is back (and at least as good as ever), after a long hiatus spent focusing on their other music projects Red Neckromancer, Lara Hope & The Ark-Tones, and scoring piano music for films. This Kingston punk n' roll power trio has returned with a penchant for mayhem and loud rock, and are so happy to be back playing music from their 4 studio albums, and writing new angular, frenetic, and catchy tunes for the modern era. Drawing inspiration from their varied influences ranging from 80s hair metal, to riot grrrl, to classical, to showtunes and more, Tiger Piss is here to get weird with you!
--
The Hedons are a power pop band from Woodstock NY formed in 2025 by Macky Bowman (The Bobby Lees, Jon Spencer) and Jack Weiss featuring Storey Littleton (Ida, M0nogamy), Atticus Ramos Johnson and Aaron Kosinski.

DCxPC Live Presents Tiger Piss, Basic Bitches and GSX
Step into Unicorn Bar on Thursday, November 20th, for a night of live punk music, presented by DCxPC Live! Bands Tiger Piss, Basic Bitches, & GSX will drawing us into a world of their own with electricity & blazing lyricism!
Formed in the good old days of 2007 in New Paltz NY, Tiger Piss is back (and at least as good as ever), after a long hiatus spent focusing on their other music projects Red Neckromancer, Lara Hope & The Ark-Tones, and scoring piano music for films. This Kingston punk n' roll power trio has returned with a penchant for mayhem and loud rock, and are so happy to be back playing music from their 4 studio albums, and writing new angular, frenetic, and catchy tunes for the modern era. Drawing inspiration from their varied influences ranging from 80s hair metal, to riot grrrl, to classical, to showtunes and more, Tiger Piss is here to get weird with you!
Naomi Scott (guitar, vocals) and Krystal Grow (drums, vocals) are BASIC BITCHES. The queer punk rock two-piece are familiar faces in NYC’s Riot Grrrl / DIY scene. In 2020 they clawed their way out of Brooklyn’s basement stages and carted their amps upstate—because you can make as much noise as you want in the country. They crank out original songs from The Green Room, their in-house practice space and DIY recording studio, and tour throughout New York and around the world. They’re known for the welcoming vibe of their live shows, along with their ear-grabbing musical hooks, witty lyrics and tits-to-the-glass exuberance.
GSX was founded by award-winning and critically acclaimed performer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Sarah Greenwood, a queer Brit-Swiss transplant. SG formed her first band and wrote her first songs at age thirteen. SG’s music obsession led her from her native Switzerland to Berklee College of Music in Boston, where she received multiple songwriting awards and praise from the press.
The current GSX line-up includes seasoned pros: John Andrews (B-52’s, Peter Murphy, Nena), Alec
Morton (Raging Slab, Monster Magnet), and Jeff Gretz (ZAO, From Autumn to Ashes).
The Boston Phoenix wrote: “Greenwood has a knack for transforming pain and anger into edgy songs which alternately smolder and blaze with the eloquently pissed off attitude of Chrissie Hynde. Her lyrics are reminiscent of Lou Reed and Patti Smith.” Reviewing the band’s performance, the Boston Herald wrote: “sounds like PJ Harvey without the overblown angst.”
